Nepal’s dominating form continues in the Asian Games Qualifiers. They made into the final of the 2026 Asian Games Qualifiers. Nepal defeated Oman by eight wickets in the semifinal game. Oman were bowled out for 94 runs and Nepal chased down the total in 9.2 overs. During the group stage, they thrashed China by a record 221 runs and later, thrashed Malaysia by 167 runs.
Nepal posted 313 runs against China and 275 runs against Malaysia while batting first. Kushal Bhurtel could be the player to watch out for. He has been a pretty consistent player for Nepal, scoring two hundreds in the competition. We back him to score above 50 runs in the upcoming game. Dipendra Singh Arre and Kushal Malla are also key batters.
Nepal are already in their best form. They recently surprised everyone with their performance in the T20 World Cup where they almost defeated England. Nepal will play back-to-back Asian Games. They have ticked all the points before the final. Top-order to middle order, everyone is in blistering form. We can expect another high-scoring game.
Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Ishan Pandey, Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, Gulshan Jha, Sompal Kami, Nandan Yadav, Sandeep Lamichhane, Lalit Rajbanshi

Hong Kong national cricket team will appear in the final of the 2026 Asian Games T20I qualifiers. They outclassed Malaysia by six wickets in the semifinals. Malaysia posted 114/9 in the first innings and Hong Kong chased down the total with 10 balls left. Shahid Wasif scored a steady 59 off 42 balls. Hong Kong are unbeaten in the Asian Games Qualifiers with four wins out of four.
Hong Kong beat Oman, Singapore and Bahrain in the group stage. In one game, they posted 287 runs to get a big victory. Babar Hayat could be a player to watch out for. He scored 93 off 48 balls in the opening game and dropped 63 off 19 in the third game. Mohammad Gazanfar and Nizakat Khan are also two impact players. However, it won’t be an easy game for Hong Kong. Their batting was exposed in the semifinals.

The weather at Singapore is expected to be cloudy with a high of 31°C and a low of 28°C, along with a 10% chance of rain and north winds at 16 kph.
The surface at Singapore National Cricket Ground is good for batting. It also offers a good balance between bat and ball. Spin assistance will be there in the middle overs. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in the women’s T20I is 195. It is a quality T20I batting surface where batsmen need to play aggressively.
Score prediction:
If Hong Kong bat first - 150-160 runs
If Nepal bat first - 200-220 runs
In the last five Men’s T20I on this surface, chasing sides won only one game. 189 remains the highest successful run-chase on this ground. Singapore also came close to chase 211 but fell short of two runs. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Nepal to win the coin toss.
Nepal enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are a superior T20I side and also have match winners. Their ICC T20 World Cup experience will also give them an edge. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye a place in the finals.
Nepal to win.
